Cannot recieve messages, cannot copy to sent message folder, however my e-mail is completely functional in webmail.
This just happened suddenly, it worked yesterday (and has for months) but I cannot view new messages in my inbox that are displayed in my webmail client. Oddly enough, it can send messages, but cannot copy them to my sent folder. I tried repairing the sent folder, but now it has no messages in Thunderbird (they are still there in webmail). It doesn't display my e-mail quota either, leading me to believe there is some type of connection issue between Thunderbird and my work's e-mail server.
As I said, I am still able to recieve messages, view my quota, and copy to the sent folder while using my web-based client, but not Thunderbird. Thunderbird has not displayed any error messages, and is still able to send messages, but none of the troubleshooting has seemed to do anything.

Yes, I've already googled around before coming here as a last resort, and especially checked out the "Did your ability to receive mail suddenly stop? Was it working before?" section:
-My ISP is working fine, I'm the only one in my office with this problem. -"If you can see your messages, the problem is probably related to your account configuration." I realized as much, but I haven't changed anything, and any fiddling around with it has not done anything. -My password hasn't changed, hence why I am able to log in on webmail.
I've restarted the program, restarted my computer, reset my modem and router, and reinstalled Thunderbird, all to no avail.
I'm still fiddling with my account settings, but nothing at all fixes the problem.

The port number for IMAP doesn't look right. Check with your email provider about the correct server settings.

I just got off a long call with my e-mail provider, and we verified that the server settings were correct. He was able to set it up with all the same information that I pulled from the web client while having Thunderbird automatically select the port, and it worked for him. Mirroring his settings (which ended up being mine), I am still not able to see any of the messages sent to me today, nor copy messages to sent or drafts.
He told me to come back here and ask, because the account settings are properly set up.

You say you are the only one in the office having this problem. Do your co - workers/colleagues use Thunderbird too?
Do you know what version of Thunderbird your email support guy was using?

Edit: I reverted to co-worker version 31.7.0, and it seems to work. No reason why the current version doesn't (38.1.0) when it was just working last week and the week before when it was released. My e-mail support was using 38.1.0. I will have to see if different versions make a difference. False alarm on 38.1.0 working, as I still have the problem of not being able to receive new messages, copy to sent, or copy to drafts. I was able to get today's e-mails upon reinstalling, but I believe that is because I installed the working version of 31.7.0 first.
Seems to be a problem with this version.
Update #2: Version 38.0b6 (the one just before the current) seems to work just fine. Has there been a stealth update since the initial release of 38.1.0? I guess keeping it on this version and turning off auto-update will have to do.

Look in Tools menu > error console for errors referring to Diffie-Hellman. If they exist contact your mail provider about when they will be fixing CVE-2015-4000 so you can get your mail.
